It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season Eight Ratings

Last season’s ratings declined over the course of the 13 episodes. Will the numbers perk back up this season? If they don’t, it doesn’t look like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is in danger of being cancelled any time soon. After all, it’s already been renewed for season nine.

The eighth season episodes typically air Thursday nights on FX. There are 13 installments and the cast once again includes Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito.
